During Herman Cain’s tenure as the head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s,
at least two female employees complained to colleagues and senior
association officials about inappropriate behavior by Cain, ultimately
leaving their jobs at the trade group, multiple sources confirm to
POLITICO.

The women complained of sexually suggestive behavior by
Cain that made them angry and uncomfortable, the sources said, and they
signed agreements with the restaurant group that gave them financial
payouts to leave the association. The agreements also included language
that bars the women from talking about their departures.
